Nike in legal stoush with production house over copyright infringement
An Australian production house is facing legal action from Nike after it posted a reel featuring brand work which the sports giant claims was uncommissioned.
Sydney-based post house Righteous Films has also been accused of misleading potential customers by posting on its site a fictional list of people who it claims are staff.
Nike Australia's brand protection team has sent two legal letters demanding that the company deletes a video that features Nike trademarks and imagery from its website. The 30-second video is a mash-up of Nike skateboarding footage.
However, Righteous's owner Lindsey Hughson claims that the video was commissioned by a contact at Nike in Europe, although he declined to tell Nike or Mumbrella who it was.
In a letter to Hughson, Nike said it became aware of the claims after he sent a marketing email within the industry claiming Nike was a client.
Hughson said of Nike's letter: "You want to sue me and take my house? You want to ruin us financially and put a bunch of creative people out of work, fans of the brand that did Nike a favour and got paid nothing because they respected everything that came before and were excited to do some work for Nike?"
Mumbrella has seen the letter from Nike. It does not threaten to take Hughson's house or ruin him financially. It asks him to either provide details of who commissioned him or to withdraw his claim that Nike is a client and remove the work.
Nike declined to comment on the matter, but pointed out that the content has now been removed.
Righteous Films featured the Nike video, plus a selection of others under the heading "latest work", on its website. After Mumbrella called for comment, it has removed the section altogether.
The site also features a lengthy list of 'our key people' Hughson concedes are not officially affiliated with the company. Some are pseudonyms to protect the identities of moonlighting agency executives, Hughson claimed.
Hughson claims that Righteous Films is making a documentary about its legal tussle with Nike called Swoooshed: Put down that logo, and no-one gets hurt.

Pseudonyms indeed…. "Jordy LaForge / Visual Collateral" isn't he a character from Star Trek the Next Generation?
how embarrassing to be caught out like that. doesn't help production houses' reputation for creative writing with respect to quotes and invoices
I like how the pictures of their offices around Australia are actually a collection of images from http://www.eclecticbuddha.com/.
I note that Jahari Westwood's (now taken down) page uses stock photography as his image. http://righteousfilms.tv/image.....stwood.jpg
And who would've thought Jordy LaForge wasn't a real person?
As of course is Stella Rondo – http://www.stockvault.net/data/s/121745.jpg
http://righteousfilms.tv/images/Stella-Rondo.jpg OK, we get the idea. I'm sure they're all moonlighting executives, even Maxine Liparini "Production assistant Learning the business from the ground up. Started as work experience intern while studying film & video production, now assists producers with all assignments". Yeah, I can see why she's moonlighting!
sigh – what wonderful names their staff all have; Tiger Massimo, Jordy LaForge, Stella Rondo, Cheyvonne DeBussey, Blade McGovern and the unforgettable Vito Vampatella!
Wasn't Kimberley Hope (the Editor) the Casting Director for Law & Order?? (IMDB)
Joelene Crnogoroc was in Neighbours.
"Tiger! Blade! Vito! Come here quick, Cheyvonne's got Stella on the line"
I do a shitloads of Nike stuff too.
Hey, Blade McGivern here.
If anyone doubts it, I can confirm that I am a real person and it is my real name.
A simple google search would confirmed this.
Check me out Here:
Most of the agencies in town are full of freelancers who get presented to clients as "our ………………………….. department". Surely that's less honest? I can also understand not wanting to rock the boat by using your real name if you're in agency land especially when you're on a sinking ship and there shooting deserters, just like all the anonymous comments on here.
I think this is more of an example of an evolution of a creative model rather a malicious attempt to misrepresent? As for who commissioned the work from Nike, who knows? I know for sure that on a number of occasions multinationals have stood on internal toes then denied it till the cows come home.
Only recently an Australian wing of a multinational vastly exceeded their remit, then engaged in a massive game of pass the parcel.
I'm going to go to these people for a new name. I feel insignifcant and very un-cool with such a boring name.
Come on. Jean-Luc Picard can't be a real name. And what about Blue. Is that like being Shakira. This thing with having just one name has to stop. And don't even get me started on Golum.
Blade, they're not talking about you. They're talking about Blade McGovern. You know, George's son.
Hey Tim, do an ABN search on eclecticbuddha. Well what do you know?. Don't feel bad. You're probably not in research or copy proofing. Doh!
I don't exist?. Everything makes a lot more sense now.
Yeah, this is all wrong. Who has a name like Simon Bloom?. That sounds like a florist in South Yarra. At least they could be original.
I agree. The use of stock photos should be a criminal offense.
Hi I'm Simon Bloom. No relation to Orlando Bloom.
Hey John Hollands, you're right, Joelene Crnogoroc was in Neighbours. And she's Amy Bruce's sister in law. Good research. Well done!
Oh I know some of these names!
Tut tut indeed
Joe: Add your first childhood pet's name
and your Mother's maiden name to get your own (VCMP) "Very Cool" Mumbrella Pseudonym! Mine is actually Trixie Clifford!
Lindsey: Sorry Jean-Luc Picard does exist, I saw him making an arse out of himself at a UK awards show recently.
Tiger: Sorry about that.
Bloom: Missy?
Mo Brown: Yes I agree you about stock photography but horses for courses?
Hold on Patrick's here everybody hide!
Lindsey, your 'doh, caught you out in a mistake' response to Tim is quite laughable in the circumstances! They do say attacking is a good form of diversion though.
There's a lot of bullshite in this industry, this is just at one end of the scale.
I am real person too
LW, I'm not actually sure what your comment even means, but let me do the research for you and Tim. Eclectic Buddha and Righteous Films have the same ABN. Simple Google search will confirm this. So I'm not sure what the 'laughable' that you refer to is about – your primitive trolling, or your lack of attention to detail?. You're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts as the saying goes. Also, why do you and Tim hide behind a first name only or initials when making your comments? What are you scared of?.
I do find it interesting that the people who have a problem with us protecting the identity of freelancers that we use who are employed in agencies, or staff that simply do not want their photo or name on the website are the ones hiding behind pseudonyms. What's wrong with this picture?. The meaning of hypocrite is "a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings". Just saying…..
I don't know what's more sad, the article giving light to what this "agency" has done wrong-ish or the fact that Lindsey Hughson is trying his best to justify everything in the comments section.
Hi Lindsey, are you really having a go at Tim and I for not using our names when commenting on a story about your company not using real names? That's seriously post-modern!

Award concerning the interpretation of collective agreement clause providing up to one year of top-up to 100% of salary of Worker's Compensation benefits ought to be limited to one calendar year, or one year of total benefits. Grievance allowed. Because the language did not restrict the benefit to a calendar year;because the employer owes a deference to employees injured at work;because it is inherently unfair to make the test for a negotiated benefit so stringent as to deny the benefit to one but provide it to another; and because workplace injuries cannot be neatly compartmentalized when it comes to rehabilitation and healing of individuals, the clause was interpreted as providing the top-up benefit for a year of benefits, not just a calendar year.

Here is a neat little project I did this weekend.I was very pleased with the results and it was incredibly easy.
To start out I had an old TV. It was a square TV, but it had a nice flat screen with a bright clear image.
I bought a mount for it on eBay and put it up in my basement:
Look at that TV with it's sweet built in VCR!
I then took an old foam mounted poster I had. A sturdy piece of cardboard would have worked too.
I printed out a bunch of Duck Hunt images:
I included the "laughing dog". I love him. I am surprised to find how many people on the net hated him. It's like 50/50 between "I hate that dog" and "I'd hit dat".Then I cut the foam board to match the size and shape of the TV leaving a spot for the remote control sensor:
Then I painted it blue and glued on the images on:
Then I just used a staple gun to staple it to the TV:
Not too shabby! Sure hanging the heavy TV was a bit back breaking... and yes, I did get some glares from the cashier at Kinkos after printing the images... but wow. Looks really good!
There is something kind of disorienting about playing Duck Hunt on a TV with a Duck Hunt graphics around the screen.
So I just use it to watch Cheers.

URL: | http://www.routledge.com/books/details/97804156755... |
Google Scholar: | Look up in Google Scholar |
Interthinking: putting talk to work explores the growing body of work on how people think creatively and productively together. Challenging purely individualistic accounts of human evolution and cognition, its authors provide analyses of real-life examples of collective thinking in everyday settings including workplaces, schools, rehearsal spaces and online environments.
The authors use socio-cultural psychology to explain the processes involved in interthinking, to explore its creative power, but also to understand why collective thinking isn't always productive or successful. With this knowledge we can maximise the constructive benefits of our ability to interthink, and understand the best ways in which we can help young people to develop, nurture and value that capability.

Title: | Fuzzy time domain and Z-transform for modeling of harmonic electric loads |
Author: | El-Hawary, M.E.; Soliman, S.A.; Temraz, H.K. |
Abstract: | This paper demonstrates the application of fuzzy systems and Z-transform for electric load modeling in the presence and/or absence of harmonics. The problem is formulated as one of linear optimization, where the objective is to minimize the spread of the model parameters. A triangular membership function is chosen for each load parameter. Having identified the fuzzy load parameters, the fuzzy admittance of the load is formulated in the frequency domain. The proposed algorithm is tested using simulated and actual recorded data for nonlinear loads having different characteristics. The results obtained are reported in the paper |

Dividend Growth 50: Costco Horns In On The Fun
- As fine as the DG50 is, there are plenty of other great stocks available for Dividend Growth investors.

Foul trouble is finding Greg Stiemsma |
04.09.12 at 10:38 am ET |
Late in the third quarter of the Celtics' 103-79 win over Philadelphia on Sunday night, Greg Stiemsma picked up a foul when he tried to block the shot of Evan Turner. No big deal. Stiemsma fouls a lot. He commits seven fouls per 36 minutes, easily the highest rate on the team.
But the Celtics didn't think he fouled. Doc Rivers argued the call. Kevin Garnett argued the call from his seat on the bench and Rajon Rondo ran across the court to get his two cents in with referee Tony Brothers. Their protests fell on deaf ears, as it turned out, because Stiemsma picked up two more fouls in the next 58 seconds, giving him three in less than a minute and five for the game.
"I think he's playing great [defense]," Rivers said. "He's a rookie, let's just chalk it up to that. He feels like the picked-on one every night. I try to explain to all those guys, if it can go to three of your guys and you're a ref, you're going to say, 'Should I give it to Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen? I'm going to give it to Stiemer.' That's how you feel a lot with him. No fun to be in that position, but that's where he's at."
Rivers was being diplomatic, but now that Stiemsma has emerged as the top big man off the bench and a 20-minute a night player, the Celtics need to get the word out that the big rookie can play defense. More importantly, they need to get out the word that Stiemsma can play defense without fouling.
Also diplomatically, Stiemsma said it was on him.
"You've got to clean it up, plain and simple," Stiemsma said. "You got to limit contact and be in the right position. That's probably the biggest thing. If I'm out of position in any way it's going to look like a foul, whether it is or not."
Over the last seven games, Stiemsma has fouled out twice and been called for five fouls in three different games. In all, he's been tagged for 30 fouls in those seven games, and that includes a game without a personal against the Spurs. He's also blocked 15 shots in that time span, which is part of the issue.
"The instinct is if I'm going to be late, if I can get there a half-step quicker or maybe just jump a little more straight up," he said. "Maybe not try to block everything, maybe just alter some stuff, get in the way sometimes. I'm really trying to work on positioning. With a guy like Kevin to show you the way, to really be in the right spot all the time, you couldn't ask for a better teacher. Be in the right position, then the blocks will come."
This has been a fairly incredible season for the 26-year-old veteran of Europe and the D-League. He made the team on a non-guaranteed contract and emerged as an unlikely bench savior at a time of great need. He's gone from a curiosity to a legitimate player, and if the Celtics wind up playing Orlando, Indiana or Chicago in the playoffs, he'll be an extremely important player. He just needs to be able to stay on the court.

Lynch, Michael and Cole, Simon and McNally, Ruth and Jordan, Kathleen (2008) Truth machine : the contentious history of DNA fingerprinting. Chicago University Press, USA. ISBN 9780226498065
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
DNA profiling--commonly known as DNA fingerprinting--is often heralded as unassailable criminal evidence, a veritable "truth machine" that can overturn convictions based on eyewitness testimony, confessions, and other forms of forensic evidence. But DNA evidence is far from infallible. It is subject to the same possibilities for error--in sample collection, forensic analysis, and clerical record keeping--as any other aspect of criminal justice practice. "Truth Machine" traces the controversial history of DNA fingerprinting by looking at court cases in the United States and United Kingdom beginning in the mid-1980s, when the practice was invented, and continuing until the present. Using interviews, observations of courtroom trials and laboratory processes, and documentary reconstruction, the authors provide a nuanced, theoretically sophisticated, and original ethnographic account of DNA fingerprinting and its evolution. Ultimately, "Truth Machine "presents compelling evidence of the obstacles and opportunities at the intersection of science, technology, sociology, and law.

Nov 21, 2012The songs here seem to belong to some larger context with all the fleshy meat ripped off, leaving the existing framework held together with only the most barebones sutures.
Aug 21, 2012This is an album that hints at plenty of promise for the future, but most of it has yet to be realized.
Aug 20, 2012Sensitive souls had best avoid, but fans of John Carpenter's soundtracks, early Aphex twin and the creepier end of Doctor Who will find themselves in familiar, if not entirely welcoming territory. [Sep 2012, p.102]
Aug 2, 2012Regional Surrealism has a quality familiar from Ghost Box releases and from Boards of Canada's discography. [Jul 2012, p.70]
Aug 2, 2012Regional Surrealism [is] somewhere you'll want to lose yourself again and again.
Jul 30, 2012On the album's first half, everything sounds correct but lacks any intoxicating, addictive spark.... [Yet] when its mood alters, somewhere around the metal wasteland of 'Lagoon Leisure', and things start getting sinister, then Regional Surrealism becomes (finally) exciting. The record transforms into a deeply disconcerting experience, all eerie shadows and claustrophobic spaces.
Jul 27, 2012Regional Surrealism is an antidote to a busy life, and the arresting portal into a strange man's mind.
Jul 27, 2012While its synthetic atmospheres initially intrigue... The music wavers indecisively between structure and formlessness, ending up as curiously misshapen objects, half-finished designs.
Jul 27, 2012Hints of humor are often symbolized in Scholefield's artworks, but here they have an unbalancing effect, only serving to detract from the portentous musical renderings of the uneasy symbiosis between digital glitch and the natural world.
Jul 27, 2012Regional Surrealism will leave you with a sense of the unresolved, but that's no bad thing: think of it not as a neatly contained expressive statement so much as a window onto a deeply idiosyncratic meditative practice.
Jul 27, 2012Brian Eno famously stated that "ambient music must be as ignorable as it is interesting". The problem is that, whilst Regional Surrealism certainly succeeds in providing a pleasant musical backdrop, it is rather more the former than it is the latter.

Heartworm is common in Santa Cruz. You can prevent it.
Heartworm, a very common affliction, is found in almost all dogs living in highly endemic areas who are unprotected by medication, this includes the Santa Cruz area. The parasitic worm, Dirofilaria immitis, is transmitted by mosquitoes usually during the warmer months. The mosquito injects a microscopic larvae which grows into an adult worm six to eighteen inches long inside the host. The name "heartworm" is a misnomer because the worm actually resides in the pulmonary arterial system (lung arteries).
Heartworm symptoms
The worms can cause mild symptoms, such as coughing, but with time, more severe symptoms usually occur such as –
- Congestive heart failure
- Weight loss
- Fluid build-up in the abdomen
- Fainting spells
- Anemia
- Collapse
- Death
Heartworm prevention
Luckily, we have several excellent medications which can prevent heartworm if given as directed. There are oral medications which given monthly protect your pet against hearmworm and some other intestinal parasites, a monthly topical medication, and an injectable medication, ProHeart, which is administered every six months. Please note that Proheart is back on the market after being withdrawn for several years because of serious, life-threatening reactions, including loss of appetite, lethargy; vomiting and seizures, followed in some cases by death.
It is important to make sure that medication is give on schedule; even with proper usage, no medication is perfect. Therefore the American Heartworm Society strongly encourages owners to check all dogs annually by doing a blood test, even for dogs on preventative medications. If a dog has heartworms and is given a dose of preventative, there could be a serious detrimental reaction to the dog that can even be fatal.
Heartworm treatment – an ounce of prevention is worth a lot of cure
The treatment for adult heartworms in dogs is expensive and potentially harmful, which is why it is much better to just prevent them in the first place. There is no treatment for adult heartworms in cats, therefore many veterinarians are now recommending monthly heartworms preventatives.
Heartworms and cat – not as rare as once thought
Heartworms were once thought to be rare in cats, but now we know the incidence is anywhere from 10 to 50 percent of the canine rate. In order to diagnose a feline with heartworm, veterinarians have to do different tests than for dogs, and sometimes more than one, because the worms are smaller and usually do not produce microfilaria which are like baby heartworms that circulate in the bloodstream, which makes it harder to find. The symptoms in cats are different than those in dogs. Cats usually have asthmatic symptoms or cough, even vomit. Cats can die acutely.
If you think your pet is suffering from heartworm, call or stop by our westside Santa Cruz animal hospital today. The veterinarians here want to help.

It's very easy to control and manoeuvre, making it an attractive option for learners or novice bikers. It's also got the looks and charm to interest scooter riders, commuters or city-dwellers who are won over by its unassuming, low-power appeal. Price is the biggest selling point, at £1,549 new it's unparalleled, and if sales take off Sinnis may just redefine our perception of Chinese-made bikes. Ride Quality & Brakes 4 out of 5 The brakes are gentle but effective, after all at 107kg there's really not much weight to stop. The riding position doesn't put any stress on your back or legs and the bars are half-way between street bike and cruiser. It's easy to lean around corners, has a fantastically small turning circle and the springy suspension is aimed more at comfort than performance. It's very, very light and manageable, making it good for the commuter, the rookie and the petite alike. Engine 3 out of 5 The single-cylinder, air-cooled, 4-stroke 124cc heart is based on Suzuki's GS 125 engine. Sinnis use more or less the same design across their range and it seems to do the job perfectly well. Vibration becomes quite off-putting and uncomfortable at the top end of the rev-range, but cruising at 55mph is perfectly smooth in fifth gear. This is still an 11bhp bike, so power and torque are not things you'll even consider while riding it. That said, once you've fought your way up to cruising speed it'll hold it well and makes for a relaxing, un-threatening experience. Build Quality & Reliability 4 out of 5 Quality is good for a budget bike, though it is obviously built for affordability, not luxury. Sinnis offer a two-year warranty with all new models, which offers peace of mind and shows that they're confident in their product. To keep the warranty valid they ask that you have one service at 635 miles and another at 2000 miles. There haven't been any reported problems with the other models in their range and they claim they've never had a case of engine failure. Insurance, running costs & value 5 out of 5 At £1,549 the Trackstar is superb value. That's £450 cheaper than a CG 125 for a very similar product. By trying to prove to the world that Chinese built bikes can be as reliable and attractive as their Japanese or European rivals, Sinnis have given themselves a difficult job. However, with such aggressive pricing, and a bargain little product, they might just be on the verge of doing it single-handed. Find a Sinnis for sale. Insurance group: 3 of 17 – compare motorcycle insurance quotes now. Equipment 4 out of 5 The retro styling is cute and appealing, with a pleasing little speedo, digital gear indicator and comfy stitched seat. The mirrors are large and well placed and the electric start is welcome. The best word to describe the bike is 'dinky'. It can't carry much weight, but it's frugal, good looking and has the same kind of dainty charm as a miniature railway. That said, what you see is what you get and there are few features beyond what's legally required. Compare and buy parts for the Trackstar in the MCN Shop.

Skype is an awesome VoIP app. Firefox is still one of our favorite browsers. What happens when you put the two together? You get a buggy combination, Mozilla says.
"The current shipping version of the Skype Toolbar is one of the top crashers of Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13, and was involved in almost 40,000 crashes of Firefox last week," Mozilla stated in a blog post. "Additionally, depending on the version of the Skype Toolbar you're using, the methods it uses to detect and re-render phone numbers can make DOM manipulation up to 300 times slower, which drastically affects the page rendering times of a large percentage of Web content served today (plan English: to the user, it appears Firefox is slow loading Web pages)."
According to Mozilla, this constitutes a "major, user-facing issue" and meets the company's established criteria for blocking an add-on, which it's done. All versions of the Skype Toolbar, including beta releases, have been added to Firefox's blocklist.
Mozilla says this is a "soft block," meaning users are notified of what's happening and have the option of manually re-enabling the add-on. In the meantime, Mozilla said it's working with the Skype Toolbar team to "identify the issues that should be corrected, and will lift the soft block on future versions that address those issues."

LONDON (Reuters) - Jessops, the British camera retailer that went into administration on Wednesday, said it was closing all 187 of its stores on Friday, resulting in about 1,370 job losses.
Joint administrator Rob Hunt at PwC said he had held talks with suppliers, but it was apparent that the chain could not continue to trade.
"We have had to make the difficult decision to begin the closure of all 187 Jessops stores at the close of business today," he said in a statement.
"Regrettably, this will result in around 1,370 job losses across the stores with further job losses likely, in due course, at the head office in Leicester."
Jessops has seen demand for its products come under pressure from the rising use of camera phones as well as from online rivals.

Penetration depth
It has been suggested that Attenuation length be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since February 2015. |
Penetration depth is a measure of how deep light or any electromagnetic radiation can penetrate into a material. It is defined as the depth at which the intensity of the radiation inside the material falls to 1/e (about 37%) of its original value at (or more properly, just beneath) the surface.
When electromagnetic radiation is incident on the surface of a material, it may be (partly) reflected from that surface and there will be a field containing energy transmitted into the material. This electromagnetic field interacts with the atoms and electrons inside the material. Depending on the nature of the material, the electromagnetic field might travel very far into the material, or may die out very quickly. For a given material, penetration depth will generally be a function of wavelength.
According to Beer-Lambert law, the intensity of an electromagnetic wave inside a material falls off exponentially from the surface as
If denotes the penetration depth, we have
"Penetration depth" is but one term that describes the decay of electromagnetic waves inside a material. The above definition refers to the depth at which the intensity or power of the field decays to 1/e of its surface value. In many contexts one is concentrating on the field quantities themselves: the electric and magnetic fields in the case of electromagnetic waves. Since the power of a wave in a particular medium is proportional to the square of a field quantity, one may speak of a penetration depth at which the magnitude of the electric (or magnetic) field has decayed to 1/e of its surface value, and at which point the power of the wave has thereby decreased to or about 13% of its surface value:
Note that is identical to the skin depth, the latter term usually applying to metals in reference to the decay of electrical currents (which follow the decay in the electric or magnetic field due to a plane wave incident on a bulk conductor). The attenuation constant is also identical to the (negative) real part of the propagation constant, which may also be referred to as using a notation inconsistent with the above use. When referencing a source one must always be careful to note whether a number such as or refers to the decay of the field itself, or of the intensity (power) associated with that field. It can also be ambiguous as to whether a positive number describes attenuation (reduction of the field) or gain; this is usually obvious from the context.
The attenuation constant for an electromagnetic wave at normal incidence on a material is also proportional to the imaginary part of the material's refractive index n. Using the above definition of (based on intensity) the following relationship holds:
where denotes the complex index of refraction, is the radian frequency of the radiation, and c is the speed of light in vacuum. Note that is very much a function of frequency, as is its imaginary part which is often not mentioned (it is essentially zero for transparent dielectrics). The complex refractive index of metals is also infrequently mentioned but has the same significance, leading to a penetration depth (or skin depth ) accurately given by a formula which is valid up to microwave frequencies.
Relationships between these and other ways of specifying the decay of an electromagnetic field are further detailed in the article: Mathematical descriptions of opacity.
It should also be noted that we are only specifying the decay of the field which may be due to absorption of the electromagnetic energy in a lossy medium or may simply describe the penetration of the field in a medium where no loss occurs (or a combination of the two). For instance, a hypothetical substance may have a complex index of refraction . A wave will enter that medium without significant reflection and will be totally absorbed in the medium with a penetration depth (in field strength) of, where is the vacuum wavelength. A different hypothetical material with a complex index of refraction will also have a penetration depth of 16 wavelengths, however in this case the wave will be perfectly reflected from the material! No actual absorption of the radiation takes place, however the electric and magnetic fields extend well into the substance. In either case the penetration depth is found directly from the imaginary part of the material's refractive index as is detailed above.

Also, you can click on www.excite.com and search for GED and several websites pop up on the first page. The one for PBS tells you where to call a 1-800 number to get free practice tests. They also tell you about the new test comming in Jan 2002. In 2002 you will be allowed to use a scientific calculator on one part but not on the other part. In my county, you call the local school board and they will schedule you for all five tests. Our county charges a fee for each test, but not too much. Until 2002 you can take all the tests and if you pass some and fail others, you can go back again and take the ones you failed again after a waiting period. However, after 2002 the tests you took before 2002 will not count even if you passed some of them.

Only during the 1980s could this peculiar blend of lefty politics and military fetishism have thrived. Though supposedly mercenaries-for-hire, the A-Team usually finds itself defending the downtrodden and helpless out of sheer cussedness. In the second season they helped abused migrant workers form a union--which, naturally, required transmogrifying farm equipment into a cabbage-shooting cannon. Other underdogs included the disenfranchised heir to an African diamond mine; an independent cab company being squeezed by big business; and a pacifist commune harassed by bigots. The last of these prompted Hannibal to muse ponderously on the unappreciated role of the soldier, who fights so others don't have to--after which Murdock and B.A. began punching each other over a bag of pecans. Self-aware and self-mocking, The A-Team pushed the TV action/adventure genre to laughable extremes. --Bret Fetzer
The A-Team--Season Two Trivia
In this season, Amy is no longer part of the A-Team. There's no explanation as to why.
One episode this season sees the title sequence featuring the Cylon from Battlestar Galatica (as well being in this episode) for the first time. This is an in-joke, as Dirk Benedict played Starbuck in that series.

Who Killed Alex Spourdalakis? CBS and Autism Media Channel Present a Prelude to Tragedy
In an unprecedented insight into the apparently senseless and violent death of Alex Spourdalakis, a 14 year-old boy with autism, CBS in collaboration with Austin-based Autism Media Channel presents a game-changer – intimate documentary footage of the unfolding crime.
CBS This Morning (PRWEB) September 01, 2013
Where: CBS THIS MORNING
When: Friday August 30, 2013, 8.00 am EST
In a country where 1 in 25 children born today will develop autism, this compelling story is certain to create universal debate. Alex's tragedy is a story of our time, pitting the old against the new, capturing the iniquity of autism when perceived as a psychiatric oddity rather than a medical disease – an epidemic in an unprepared world. Using exclusive footage that followed Alex's journey leading up to his death, CBS and Autism Media Channel present a story, unique in documentary history – one whose outcome should have been prevented; one that will change perception.
Polly Tommey, autism advocate, Autism Media Channel director, and founder of The Autism Trust, says the answers are staring us in the face. "Alex was one of millions of children at risk," she said. "Without a complete overhaul of our approach to autism treatments, therapies, and services, tragedies like this are inevitable."
